monday morning at 9:30am, Don will have a new form of chemotherapy to attack the CLL. rituxan is very strong and will be administered intravenously over a 6 hour period. he will be monitored very closely during this period of time because of its potency.
after his last hospital stay, the doctor gave him a five day course of steroids to increase his strength and it has worked somewhat. surprisingly, his sweats, fever and chills have virtually subsided after beginning this steroid treatment. not having this continuing cycle gave him the opportunity to spend some quality time with his kids over the weekend [though they did see the terrible effects of the chills and fever when they first arrived].
please pray for peace as anxiety has been a major mental block for both Don and Rachel, given the intense side effects of the last chemo treatment [even though it was for MCC]. please pray also for Don's physical, spiritual, mental and emotional health and protection [Rachel's too, as they are each dealing with different issues].
